In order to keep peace. . .

Those around us especially those we love tend to put us in an awkward situations now and then. Sometimes by mistake or uncontrollable circumstances.

One is expected to accept things the way they are despite how those things affect one's principles or feelings.

But there is one thing that those who expect us to put a happy smile don't realize, that is how much we hurt for pretending we r ok with everything. I guess sometimes in order to keep peace we do not say or show how we feel around those we claim to love and protect, but we do not realize how ill those feelings makes one feel inside until it is too late. I guess that has nothing to do with one being selfish. . .
